35. Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon WrestleMania X-Seven (17)
From quite possibly the best WrestleMania of them all, the battle between the McMahon men is one of the best car wrecks you will ever see in WWF/E. Shane has proven through the years that he can hang in the ring, but putting two non-wrestlers out there, even with Mick Foley as guest referee, was a risky proposition. But with the specter of Shane buying WCW out from under Vince hanging over the match, the younger McMahon managed to triumph in this spectacularly overbooked match. The sight of Shane hitting a Van Terminator alone is worth the price of admission. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6kctN2Uw1I One word of advice: If youre going to view this for the first time, watch the promo video before the match as a primer. It would be good to know why Linda McMahon is in a wheelchair.
